June 20, 2022: The Lower Oaks EP AVAILABLE Everywhere!

What did you do last summer when your drummer was off running sound for symphonies? Well, Scott Smith & Mike Packard from the band Sheen wrote & recorded a 5-song EP, under the name... The Lower Oaks.

Just In Case is the first song of our EP…

December 25, 2020: After a series of 2020 delays, Sheen finally got back into the studio in late July to record their 5th cd, Blend-A-Phone. Josh Pechette engineered, mixed and mastered the album at his Pechette Studios Productions in Albany NY.

BIO

Mike Packard is a singer-songwriter from Glens Falls, NY USA. As a young child, Mike was already creating stories while absorbing murder ballads, one-hit-wonders and his dad's Tom Waits records.

He has been performing year-round for over 20 years on acoustic guitar and harmonica, as a solo artist and as part of a duo, throughout the Adirondack region of Upstate New York.

In the early 1990's, Mike first met drummer Dave Harris in their band Cat's Pajamas. Later in the '90s in Mike's 2nd band Ultra Sheen, Scott Smith came in on bass. Ultra Sheen took a ten year hiatus and reformed in the late 2000s with Mike, Dave and Scott as Sheen.
